Method

Macadamia Shortbread:

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until ingredients are just combined. Gently knead to form a soft dough. Chill 1 hour. Roll out to 0.75cm thickness. Cut 20 x 7cm rounds. Cut out a 3cm heart from the centre of 10 of the rounds. Place well spaced on lined baking trays. Chill 30 minutes. Bake at 150°C for 25-30 minutes. Cool on rack. Keep in an airtight container.

Orange Mascarpone Cream:

Combine all ingredients together. Refrigerate until required

Orange Curd:

Combine all ingredients in double boiler and stir with a wooden spoon over gently simmering water for 20 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Chill several hours until thickened slightly. Refrigerate until required.
